Story: Symbiot launches DDoS counter-strike tool

This is a very bad idea, though it'll probably be welcomed by ultra-lazy hackers. Why? Say you don't want to go through the effort of actually attacking someone yourself - now all you need to do is spoof an attack from your intended target against a party using 'Symbiot', then go make a sandwich.
And what happens when a system using 'Symbiot' is used to attack another similary 'protected' system? The packets are really going to fly...
Perhaps it should be renamed 'Idiot'.
